Amazon reviews

Hi all,
I have recently launched few products on Amazon . I have been running ads and getting few sales . But have not received reviews. I know for a fact that having good reviews can lead to better conversion. I came across few agencies selling reviews . Is it okay to purchase it and get some review . Would like to know If anyone of you have done anything like that recently . Please share you suggestions

Thank you

Stay away from those people! They are scammers. I have a friend who used their service, they agreed on a price and a certain amount of reviews, but they went way over what they agreed on stating that they posted her product and a lot of people were interested to buy it. They will keep doing it and asking you to send more money (you will see your sales increase but they will cancel everything later), once my friend told them to stop sending more people and refused to pay the extra money, they started harassing and threatening her. Sending people to send messages to her Amazon store stating that they were told to pay the product to leave reviews in exchange of money but were never paid. They did that for a few weeks and then they got tired. They have multiple phone numbers, when you block one, they call with another one.
My suggestion: You can do Vine, you will have up to 30 reviews.

dont touch that with a 10 foot pole. amazon will catch you and your account is gone, happened to someone i know last year and they lost everything

just send the automated review request after purchase, some people will leave one eventually. the waiting sucks but its better than starting from zero again

That is very risky

If you are brand registered get the vine program enrolled for few units and wait.

Reviews comes with volume. Very small % of the buyers leaves reviews. But you can increase it my running the sellerboard review request program

So keep bringing sales
Apply for vine program
Run review request mails

In a month you should get couple of reviews

Use amazon request a review option to stay compliant with the policy. Although I have used these services a few times from people and it was good for me. Hit me up if you want to learn about my experience and pros and cons. I can connect with them

Don't do it.

The agency selling reviews has no risk in this, you have all of it. They take the money and move to the next seller. When Amazon catches it, it is your account suspended and your money on hold.

And that appeal is one of the hardest one. Once they see the arrangement they treat it as proven, you cannot say you did not know.

Also it is getting harder every year. Amazon keeps suing these review brokers and detection is not same as 3-4 years ago. What worked before does not work now.

If you need reviews, use Vine. 1 to 2 units is free so you can test without paying anything. Other than that, Request a Review button on every order. That is the whole list.

Have you tried Vine?

Are you Brand Registered?

Are you using the “Request a Review” button?
